The 1970s were difficult years for the United States, a time when long-held convictions were challenged and the nation experienced a collective identity crisis. Women and minorities called into question the belief that freedom and equality are the birthright of all Americans. Watergate and related scandals of the Nixon administration damaged the country’s faith in politicians and the political system. The Arab oil boycott, the energy crisis, the environmental movement, and years of stagflation raised doubts about the future of the nation’s economy, and in the jungles of Vietnam, ma

For many Americans, Gerald Ford evokes an image of either an unelected president who abruptly pardoned his corrupt predecessor or an accident-prone klutz who failed to provide skilled leadership. In Gerald Ford and the Challenges of the 1970s, Yanek Mieczkowski reexamines Ford’s two and a half years in office, showing that his presidency successfully confronted the most vexing crisis of postwar era. Viewing the 1970s primarily through the lens of economic events, Mieczkowski argues that Ford’s understanding of the national economy was better than any modern president, that he overs

Each decade in 20th-century America is known for having a unique history and a different personality.

“Down these mean streets a man must go.” For hard-boiled heroes, it used to be that way. But not any more. The streets are now far meaner than anything Raymond Chandler could have imagined when he wrote this classic description of the hard-boiled hero. And the heroes who go down those mean streets are no longer just tough middle-aged white men. Stories about these heroes, too, have risen from the pages of pulp magazines to today’s best-seller lists. Beginning in the 1970s a new generation of writers took over the hard-boiled story created by Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hamme
